May Day Information & Permission Form
Olathe South hosts an annual community service day, “May Day in October” in memory of Ed May, former student naturalist teacher at Olathe South. Mr. May was instrumental in implementing a day of community service at Olathe South and was very active in promoting student participation in community service. We hope this experience will foster a sense of community with classmates and a sense of accomplishment as well as offer students a chance to have fun and practice problem-solving, organizational, and leadership skills. This also provides us with an opportunity to combine several activities into one day, thereby limiting the amount of time that classes are disrupted. Read more...

Perkins Named Baseball Coach at Olathe South
Josh Perkins has been named the interim baseball coach for Olathe South High School. Perkins is currently a science teacher at Frontier Trail Junior High School, an assistant football coach at Olathe South and was an assistant baseball coach for the Falcons.
"Following the announcement in mid-July that Carl Garrett would no longer be the head baseball coach at Olathe South High School, a decision was made to look within the program for an interim head coach," Principal Phil Clark said. "Coach Garrett's decision to assume the responsibility of an assistant principal at Prairie Trail Junior High School is celebrated, but does leave the Falcon baseball community with a sense of loss. His leadership and contributions over the past two years have been exceptional and has built upon the outstanding tradition of Olathe South baseball." Read more...
